                              G.R. (HOLDINGS) PLC

                   PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF FINAL RESULTS

                        FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005

                              CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT





The pre-tax profit of the group on ordinary activities for the year ended 30
June 2005 was #6,940,778 (#371,418 loss - 2004). After taxation the profit
attributable to members of the company is #6,669,381 against a loss of #371,818
for the previous year. The turnover on continuing operations increased from
#612,458 to #696,991.

As you are aware after 40 years trading, the group disposed of its business,
Grayshott Hall Health Fitness Retreat, on 17 February 2005 for a gross cash
consideration of #8,900,000. The trading position for the year still showed a
loss up to the disposal date of #126,924, despite a refurbishment of the spa,
which caused some disruption.

Morland's turnover increased up by approximately 14%, which gave rise to a small
loss for the year. The loss before interest, however, was a #50,576 improvement
on the previous year.

At the year-end we were still involved as limited partners in 12 partnerships in
land in the USA. During the year two of the partnerships disposed of the
entirety of their holding, of which partial sales had been made in previous
years in one of these partnerships. Disposals during the year resulted in a
profit of #25,338.

At the year-end, our stock has decreased by #108,418. Debtors have decreased by
#85,994 whilst creditors have also decreased by #188,001. Net cash at bank and
in hand has increased by #8,068,538.

Since the year-end, the trading position of Morlands has continued to improve.
With regard to our American investments, one of the partnerships sold the
balance of its holding, unfortunately giving rise to an overall loss of
approximately #60,000, for our interest in this partnership.

For the past seven months the Board has looked to acquire new businesses,
however, without success to date. In the circumstances the Board is also giving
consideration to a reorganisation of the Group in conjunction with its parent
company. The Board has not yet finalised its conclusions.



Finally, I would like to thank my co-director and all the staff for their
support and involvement during the year.
