    Standard Life Investments Property income Trust Limited
    Interim Report and Condensed Financial Statements
    1 January 2008 to 30 June 2008

    Objective 
    To provide shareholders with an attractive level of income together with the prospect of income and capital growth. 

    Investment Policy 
    The Directors intend to achieve the investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting of UK commercial properties.
The majority of the portfolio will be invested in direct holdings within the three main sectors of Retail, Office, and Industrial, although
it may also invest in "other" commercial property such as hotels, nursing homes and student housing. Limited development and investment in
co-investment vehicles is permitted (maximum 10% of the portfolio). 

    In order to manage risk in the Company, without compromising flexibility, the following restrictions apply to the portfolio in normal
market conditions: 

    *    No property will be greater by value than 15% of total assets. 
    *    No tenant (excluding Government) shall be responsible for more that 20% of the Company's rent roll. 
    *    The Loan to Value ratio (borrowings less cash divided by property portfolio value) will not exceed 65%. 

    Financial Highlights 
    *    Dividends per share maintained at 6.76p 
    *    Dividend yield of 10.1% based on period end share price 
    *    Net Asset Value per share decreased by 9.0% to 101.6p 
    *    Value of property portfolio �156.7m 
    *    One property disposed over the period for �17.7m, one property purchased during the period for �7.9m.

      Chairman's Statement
    Since writing my last Chairman's Statement the economic environment for the UK economy continued to deteriorate and the impact of the
credit crunch is still affecting the banking sector's ability to lend as these financial institutions rebuild their capital positions.
Against this challenging background it is no surprise that the level of UK commercial property transactions has slowed and values have
fallen in the six months ended 30 June 2008. Given the investment policy, the Company continues to focus on properties that will generate
rental income to finance dividends to shareholders. 

    Income and Total Return 
    The Company's property portfolio held up relatively well in a very difficult market producing a total return of -3.7% for the six months
ended 30 June 2008 (IPD monthly index -6.0%). Over the reporting period the income return was in line with the IPD monthly index at 2.8%.
One of the main objectives of the Company is to provide an attractive level of income. The Company's income return on its property portfolio
was calculated after the impact of paying a �900,000 premium to DSG to secure a ten year extension of two leases at Clough Road, Hull. 

    The Company announced a second interim dividend of 1.69p per share payable on 29 August 2008, making dividends of 3.38p for the six
months ended 30 June 2008. Annualised dividends of 6.76p per share represent a dividend yield at 30 June 2008 of 10.1%, based upon the year
end share price.

    The Company's unaudited net asset value per share was 101.6p at 30 June 2008 and represented a fall of 9.0% over the six months ended 30
June 2008. 

    Activity 
    The Company sold its largest property Wellington House, London, for �17.7m in the first quarter and bought an industrial unit in
Rainham, Thames Gateway, for �7.9m. 

    Outlook 
    The cash position at 30 June 2008 was �44.4m and the loan to value ratio was 25.5% after taking the Company's cash position into
account. The Company is therefore well placed to take advantage of attractive buying opportunities that present themselves. Although the
market sentiment is negative towards UK commercial property as an asset class at the present time the investment manager expects the UK
commercial property sector to provide high single digit returns over the next few years mainly resulting from the asset class's stable
income return and assuming economic recovery comes through in 2009.

    Investment Manager's Report 

    UK Property Market 
    The first six months of 2008 have seen a repeat of the second half of 2007 with capital falls in UK commercial property of 8.6%
outweighing the +2.8% income return to give a total return of -6.0%. Although the year started in a more positive fashion with the rate of
capital falls declining, they accelerated again in Q2 2008, due in part to the deteriorating economic environment. 

    Over the first half of the year it was the industrial sector that proved most resilient with a total return of -5.4%, against -5.8% and
-6.4% for offices and retail sectors respectively. Both the retail and office sectors in particular suffered from weaker expectations of
occupier demand and increased tenant failures feeding through to lower rental growth expectations, and increased provisions for bad debt. 

    The listed sector faired no better. Although it had a relatively strong first three months of 2008 with a minor recovery, this was
reversed in Q2, as the attached chart shows, giving a total return for the period (assuming dividends reinvested) of -21.16% on the FTSE All
share real estate index. The FTSE All Share index returned -11.16% over the same period.


    Portfolio Valuation 
    From December 2007 the properties in the Investment Portfolio have been valued by Jones Lang LaSalle. Prior to that time the valuer was
DTZ Debenham Tie Leung, but they were replaced at the end of the term of their initial contract following a retendering exercise. 

    The portfolio valuation at the end of the period was �156.7m. A further �44.4m was held in cash at the period end. This compares to
�178.2m and �34.5m respectively as at end December 2007 and reflects that during the period the Company sold its largest asset, Wellington
House London, and purchased an industrial asset in the Thames Gateway.

    The primary aim of the Company is to provide an attractive level of income, and the property portfolio supports this with a running
yield of 6.7% (IPD monthly index 5.7% 30 June 2008). 
      
    Investment Activity 
    Following the sale of a portfolio of six properties in Quarter 4 2007 for �44m the Company continued its strategy of selling properties
that had a specific risk to the income stream or capital value by selling Wellington House London for �17.7m in Quarter 1 2008. It also
bought an industrial unit in Rainham, Thames Gateway, for �7.9m in Quarter 1. Both transactions met the strategy of improving the duration
and certainty of the portfolio cashflow. 

    As the market continued to decline into Quarter 2 and the outlook weakened further, the Company decided to hold cash rather than invest
into the market, and also not to undertake further sales as the market pricing is not attractive. 

    Asset Management 
    The priority of the period has been to maintain and improve the income security to the Company. The Company negotiated the removal of
two break clauses in leases to DSG in Hull, securing the income until 2021. The Company has also had some successful lettings and lease
renewals at its industrial estate in Aberdeen, where the high oil prices have led to continued strong demand. 

    Loan to Value 
    The loan to value level at 30 June 2008 stood at 25.5% of the market value of investment properties.

    Investment outlook
    By the end of Quarter 1 2008 the outlook for the UK commercial property market looked to have improved with pricing close to fair value,
however over the second quarter market sentiment and our outlook  deteriorated. This change in outlook reflects the outward shift in bond
yields, and increase in 5 year swap rates over the period making commercial property look relatively expensive. At the same time the
worsening economic environment has hit the occupier market, which up until now has remained relatively robust. 

    The listed sector normally proves a lead indicator to the direct market, and we expect to see a recovery here first. In line with the
Standard Life Investments "Focus on Change" philosophy, we are looking at the triggers of a market recovery for where the turning point in
this cycle will be. Although at a market level we do not believe the time is right to re-enter the direct property market, we are beginning
to see attractive property specific opportunities appear as some sellers are forced to accept below market value. The Company is well placed
to take advantage of opportunities given its high cash levels, but remains cautious in appraising opportunities.
