Interim Results - Part 2
British Land Co PLC
27 November 2002
Independent review report to The British Land Company PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 September 2002 which comprises the Consolidated Profit
and Loss Account, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement,
Consolidated Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the note of
historical cost profits and losses, the reconciliation of movements in
shareholders' funds and related notes 1 to 18. We have read the other
information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains
any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial
information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review
consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying
analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data
and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes
audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets,
liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
performed in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore
provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 September 2002.

Notes to the accounts for the six months ended 30 September 2002 (unaudited)
1. Basis of preparation
The interim accounts are not statutory accounts, but are prepared on the
basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2002, consistently applied in all
material respects.
The figures for the year ended 31 March 2002 have been extracted from the
statutory accounts which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain
any statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.

Contingent tax
Unprovided further taxation which might become payable if the Group's
investments and properties were sold at open market value is estimated at
£505m (31 March 2002 - £510m; 30 September 2001 - £520m). Tax losses, which
have not been recognised in the Balance Sheet, have reduced the contingent
tax by approximately £100m. This unprovided taxation is stated after taking
account of the FRS19 capital allowance deferred tax provision of £84m (31
March 2002 - £83m; 30 September 2001 - £80m).
5. Interim dividend
The interim dividend of 4.1 pence will be paid on 21 February 2003 to
shareholders on the register at the close of business on 24 January 2003.
6. Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated on the profit on ordinary
activities after taxation and on the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the period as shown below:

FRS 19.
The diluted weighted average number of shares has changed as a result of the
redemption in June 2002 of the 6.5% Convertible Bonds 2007.

The deferred tax liability relates primarily to capital allowances claimed on
plant and machinery within investment properties. When a property is sold and
the agreed disposal value for this plant and machinery is less than original
cost, there is a release of the surplus part of the provision. The entire
amount of the capital allowance provision would be expected to be released on
sale.
