Commenting on the results, Peter Cassells, chief executive officer of PEPR,
said: "We are pleased to report steady operating and financial results in what
remains an unsettled macro-economic environment.

"Portfolio occupancy and leasing activity remains high and our 80% retention
rate for the quarter demonstrates the strength of our customer relationships. In




addition, we have seen positive rental growth in prime markets where there is
limited supply.

"A key achievement for the first quarter was the successful completion of three
portfolio sales in the UK, Germany and Poland. The disposals, in line with
market values, confirm our belief that we continue to value the portfolio
appropriately to market. As a result of these disposals, we have made
considerable progress in reducing our loan-to-value ratio, which now stands at
44.1%.

"During this period of ongoing economic uncertainty, we will remain focused on
reducing our loan-to-value ratio further by retaining earnings, while continuing
to actively managing our assets to drive cash flow."


Update to Management Regulations
PEPR held an Extraordinary General Meeting ('EGM') on 14 March 2012, to vote on
the proposal made by Prologis, Inc. under Article 18.1 of the Management
Regulations to amend PEPR's Management Regulations. The proposed amendments were
approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, the Management
Company and the PEPR Board prior to the EGM. At the EGM, the resolution to amend
the Management Regulations was passed with 96.7% of the ordinary units
represented or present at the meeting voting in favour.

The amended Management Regulations allow for unitholders owning more than one
per cent of the ordinary units to be offered the option to elect for
distributions "in specie" (e.g. by transfer of ownership in a property or of the
shares in companies holding properties) or in cash in the event of a wind-up of
PEPR.

In light of the amendments made to the Management Regulations, the Management
Company deemed it appropriate and in the best interests of unitholders to have
the portfolio independently valued as at 31 March 2011.

Change to PEPR Board
In accordance with Article 4 of the Management Regulations, Mr. Edward Nekritz,
Prologis' Legal Officer and General Counsel has been appointed as a member of
the PEPR Board on 30 April 2012, as a replacement for Mr. Philip Dunne.

Market outlook
Despite the uncertain economic environment, occupier activity has resulted in an
annual estimated take-up volume of approximately 14.8 million square metres
according to Jones Lang LaSalle. This is a new record volume and 80% above the
10-year annual average of 8.2 million square metres.

Larger and mid-sized logistics service providers increased their market share,
both in freight management and contract logistics. This allows for expansion and
new market entry in the emerging markets and Central Eastern Europe.

Prime headline rents stabilised in the majority of markets. During the first
quarter, rental growth was achieved in a number of core markets where good
quality, modern space is increasingly scarce due to a limited level of new
supply. Prime rents in Europe's regional markets remained generally stable while
rents in non-core locations continue to be under pressure.

Portfolio revaluation

The entire portfolio was independently revalued at 31 March 2012, with market
value decreasing by 1.1%, excluding foreign exchange adjustments and asset
disposals (completed and held for sale), from the valuation carried out at 31
December 2011. The overall portfolio value, taking into account disposals and
the impact of foreign exchange, declined by 4.6% to ?2,483.1 million compared to
?2,602.6 million at 31 December 2011.

The value of the Continental European portfolio decreased by 5.2% over the
quarter to ?2,144.2 million, primarily due to the German and Polish asset
disposals (completed and held for sale). Excluding these disposals, continental
European values fell by 1.2%. The Southern European portfolio value declined by
1.6% primarily driven by France where an outward yield shift in short dated
income had a notable impact. Values for both the Northern European and Central
European portfolios recorded a more modest decline of 0.7%.

The UK portfolio value remained broadly stable, down 0.6% from 31 December 2011
to 31 March 2012. The strengthening of the sterling exchange rate over the
quarter reduced this valuation decline to 0.2% in euro terms, to ?338.9 million
from ?339.6 million at 31 December 2011.

The net initial yield(()[2]())of the portfolio at 31 March 2012 increased to
7.6% compared to 7.5% at 31 December 2011.

Portfolio performance

The increase in leasing activity concluded during the fourth quarter of last
year continued into the first quarter 2012, with the completion of 41 lease
transactions covering 540,900 square metres. Within this number, the proportion
of new and expanded leases fell, with two new leases, totalling 3,200 square
metres, and seven lease expansions (adding 22,700 square metres to existing
customers' operations) completed. The retention rate for the quarter was 80%
with thirty-two lease renewals, covering 515,000 square metres, signed with
customers including Fiege in Germany and Hungary, Burberry and Ceva in Italy and
ND Logistics in France.

Despite this activity, portfolio occupancy decreased as expected by the end of
the quarter to 93.6% from 94.4%, primarily due to four large known customer
move-outs in France, Spain and Poland, totalling 60,100 square metres or 1.1% of
the portfolio.

First quarter leasing transactions were concluded with an average of 3.4 years
to lease break or 4.9 years to lease expiry and resulted in a weighted average
rental decline of 5.2% over the previous rental levels. The majority of the
decline relates to the regearing of seven leases, totalling 206,000 square
metres, in Italy. Excluding these leases, the remaining transactions generated
weighted average rental growth of 2.8% largely due to rents achieved on lease
renewals in Sant Boi, a prime logistics park near Barcelona in Spain and at
Venlo, an established logistics hub in The Netherlands.

During the quarter, PEPR sold 18 assets in three portfolio transactions for a
total of ?255.1 million. All transactions were completed in line with 31
December 2011 external valuations. 10 assets in the UK were sold to Blackstone,
a global private equity fund manager, for ?183.3 million (£153.0 million). Post
closing adjustments have increased sales proceeds from the £150.9 million
announced on 8 February 2012. The portfolio comprised 231,650 square metres in
10 fully-leased buildings in the Midlands and North-East of the UK.

Three fully-leased assets in Germany were sold to Tristan Capital Partners, a
pan-European real estate investment manager, for ?20.6 million at the end of the
quarter. The portfolio comprised 36,300 square metres in Saarwellingen in
Western Germany and Malsfeld in Northern Germany.

Also at the end of the first quarter, five assets in Poland were sold to Hines
Global REIT, a privately owned real estate firm, for ?51.2 million. The
portfolio comprised 73,000 square metres in five buildings, which are 93%
occupied in Warsaw and Bedzin. Two additional assets in Poland are expected to
be sold to Hines before the end of the year in a second phase of the
transaction. These assets are shown as "assets held for sale".

Excluding the assets held for sale, the portfolio comprises 210 distribution
facilities, covering 4.5 million square metres across 11 European countries with
a market value of ?2.5 billion at 31 March 2012. The portfolio risk profile
remains attractive, with occupancy at 93.6% and a diversified customer base. On
average, the portfolio has 3.0 years to lease break or 5.1 years to lease
expiry. An overview of the portfolio is shown on page 11.

Guidance

PEPR maintains its guidance for 2012, with EPRA earnings expected to be between
?0.37 and ?0.42 per ordinary unit and distributable cash flow expected to be
between ?0.33 and ?0.38 per ordinary unit.

PEPR has retained distributable cash flow since December 2008 as part of the
business' strategic initiatives to improve liquidity and intends to continue to
do so for the foreseeable future in order to further deleverage the balance
sheet.

Financial results

Earnings

PEPR recorded an IFRS loss of ?21.3 million in Q1 2012 (Q1 2011: ?12.4 million
earnings), primarily due to a ?28.5 million higher decline in portfolio value
and a ?17.4 million loss on property disposals, offset by a ?6.9 million
deferred income tax benefit in Q1 2012 compared to a ?4.2 million deferred
income tax charge in the comparable period.

Adjusted EPRA earnings for ordinary unitholders, which provide a better guide to
underlying business performance, increased to ?21.9 million in Q1 2012 (Q1
2011: ?19.4 million).

A reconciliation between IFRS and EPRA earnings is shown on page 9.

Total revenue

Q1 2012 rental and other property income decreased to ?56.5 million (Q1 2011:
?60.5 million), primarily due to the loss of ?2.8 million of rental income from
property disposals and a ?1.2 million drop in rental income given lower market
rents on new lease agreements. These declines were partially offset by the
relatively higher average occupancy during the quarter and a ?0.2 million
increase in UK and Swedish sourced income when measured in euro.

Operating expenses

The cost of rental activities decreased to ?5.5 million in Q1 2012 (Q1 2011:
?6.6 million), driven by a ?0.4 million reduction in bad debt provisions and
higher recovery of property-related costs given the relatively higher average
occupancy during Q1 2012. Property management fees remained broadly flat given
their direct correlation to gross portfolio value.

Fund expenses comprise the non-property related costs associated within our
business, including fund management, custodian and professional fees. These
expenses declined slightly to ?2.3 million (Q1 2010: ?2.6 million). Fund
management fees are directly correlated to gross portfolio value.

Loss on disposal of investment property

The ?17.4 million net loss on disposal of investment property in Q1 2012 relates
to the sale of 18 assets in three portfolio transactions for a total of ?255.1
million. All transactions were completed in line with 31 December 2011 external
valuations, however the loss on disposal includes a ?20.6 million allocation
from equity of unrealised historical currency translation adjustments associated
with the UK portion of the disposals.

Further details on these transactions are provided in the Portfolio performance
section on page 3.

Debt structure and finance cost

Total outstanding debt as at 31 March 2012 is ?1,159.4 million, a ?201.3 million
decrease since 31 December 2011 (?1,360.7 million), driven by the full repayment
of the ?160.0 million outstanding under both the senior unsecured credit
facility and the Crédit Agricole bank loan, the ?40.9 million reduction in the
Deutsche Pfandbriefbank bank loan and contractual amortisation of other
facilities. These reductions were partially offset by the strengthening of
sterling over the quarter. PEPR has no outstanding debt maturities in 2012.

The weighted average interest rate for Q1 2012 decreased to 5.3% (Q1
2011: 5.6%) given the 1.75% reduction in the rate payable on the ?500 million
Eurobond to 5.875% on 23 October 2011 and the improvement in the senior
unsecured credit facility interest rates following PEPR's return to an
investment grade credit rating. At 31 March 2012, 100% of debt was at fixed
rates of interest with only the undrawn ?50 million revolving credit facility at
floating rates of interest, currently at 225 basis points over Euribor or Libor.

Net finance expense for Q1 2012 decreased to ?21.6 million (Q1 2011: ?24.7
million), primarily due to a ?2.1 million saving in interest expense given the
lower Eurobond interest mentioned above and ?2.9 million of savings relating to
the ?392.9 million reduction in debt between both periods as well as the
improvement in the weighted average interest rate for the quarter. These
declines were offset by ?2.8 million of accelerated amortisation and debt
breakage costs related to the early repayment of the senior unsecured credit
facility and the Crédit Agricole bank loan.

At 31 March 2012, PEPR was in compliance with all financial debt covenants
within its credit facilities.


Tax

PEPR recorded a ?2.8 million tax benefit for Q1 2012 (Q1 2011: ?8.9 million tax
charge), primarily due to a positive movement in the deferred income tax
position. The portfolio valuation exercise completed at 31 March 2012 resulted
in a deferred income tax benefit of ?6.9 million for Q1 2012 (Q1 2011: ?4.2
million charge).

The Q1 2012 current income tax expense was ?4.1 million (Q1 2011: ?4.7 million),
reflecting lower taxable profits and further utilisation of available tax
losses. The Q1 2012 current income tax expense represents an effective tax rate
of 14.9%, using EPRA earnings before taxation as a proxy for taxable income,
down from 17.8% for Q1 2011.

PEPR will continue to manage and implement tax strategies to maintain its future
tax expense at a reasonable level.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

PEPR generated ?21.5 million, or ?0.10 per unit of distributable cash flow for
ordinary unitholders in Q1 2012 (Q1 2011: ?18.3 million or ?0.10 per unit). PEPR
will continue to retain distributable cash flow for the foreseeable future in
order to further deleverage the balance sheet.

PEPR will pay a preferred dividend distribution to holders of its Class A(1)
convertible preferred units on 9 May 2012. The ?0.157392 per unit distribution
relates to the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012. The ex-dividend date
is 3 May 2012 and the record date is 7 May 2012.

Net asset value

IFRS NAV per ordinary unit was ?5.77 at 31 March 2012, equal to the value per
unit at 31 December 2011. The ?0.16 per ordinary unit impact of the portfolio
devaluation, losses on disposals of ?0.08 per unit and the preferred dividend of
?0.01 per ordinary unit were offset by ?0.14 per unit of earnings (including a
deferred income tax benefit of ?0.03 per unit), an ?0.11 per unit movement in
the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment and a ?0.01 positive
movement in the fair value of interest rate hedges.

EPRA NAV per ordinary unit, which makes adjustments for deferred income tax and
the fair value of financial instruments, decreased to ?6.46 at 31 March 2012,
compared to ?6.50 at 31 December 2011.

A reconciliation between IFRS and EPRA NAV is shown on page 9.

(([1])) European Public Real Estate Association Best Practices Recommendations,
issued October 2010

[2] Annualised rent less non-recoverable property expenses expressed as a
percentage of gross market value i.e. before the deduction of notional
purchasers' costs.
(([3])) In December 2008, PEPR suspended ordinary dividend payments. Q4 2008 and
all subsequent quarters' distributable cash flow for ordinary unitholders has
therefore been retained in the business.
(([4])) An independent revaluation of the portfolio was conducted as at 31 March
2012. In accordance with IFRS fair value accounting, valuations are reported net
i.e. after deduction of purchasers' costs
(([5])) Annualised rental income means the estimate of annual income based on
the gross rental income for leases in place as at the latest valuation date
based on rates effective at that date and on the assumption that rental income
from such leases will continue to be received for the whole of the financial
year. It does not take into account lease terminations, renewals, replacement of
customers or other changes in rent levels in existing leases
(([6])) ERV refers to the Estimated Rental Value calculated by the independent
third-party appraisers as at the latest valuation date
((([7]))) Excludes two assets held for sale as at 31 March 2012
(([8])) Annualised rental income less non-recoverable property expenses,
expressed as a percentage of gross market value i.e. before the deduction of
notional purchasers' costs
((([9]))) Excludes two assets held for sale as at 31 March 2012
