All the above debt is effectively Sterling except for £160.2m (2000 - £148.5m)
of Euro debt of which £108.4m (2000 - £125.8m) is fixed and the balance
floating. At 31 March 2001 the weighted average interest rate of the Sterling
fixed rate debt is 7.13% (reduced to 6.87% following the buyback of the two
unsecured bonds). The weighted average period for which the rate is fixed is
22.7 years (decreased to 21.6 years following the buyback of the two unsecured
bonds). The Irredeemable Convertible is treated as having a life of 100 years
for this calculation. The weighted average interest rate of the Euro fixed
rate debt is 4.14% and the weighted average period for which the rate is fixed
is 2.7 years. The floating rate debt is set for periods of the Company's
choosing at the relevant LIBOR (or in the case of Euro debt EURIBOR) rate.

* This includes the accrual of £83.6m for the premium payable (net of the
profit on the close out of associated derivatives of £20.3m) on the repurchase
of the unsecured bonds (£150m 12.5% Bonds 2016 and the £150m 8.875% Bonds
2023) which has been included in the accounts for the year to 31 March 2001
(see note 4).
The market value and difference are shown before any tax relief. The
difference between book value and market value on the convertibles arises
principally from the British Land share price.
In accordance with Accounting Standards the book value of debt is par value
net of amortised issue costs. The valuations of the Broadgate Notes have been
undertaken by Morgan Stanley. The valuations of 135 Bishopsgate
Securitisations 2018 have been undertaken by The Royal Bank of Scotland. The
valuations of other fixed rate debt and convertible debt have been undertaken
by UBS Warburg. The bank debt has been valued assuming the bank debt could be
renegotiated at contracted margins. The derivatives have been valued by the
independent treasury advisor Record Treasury Management.
