CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
During the first six months of this year we have begun to see the rewards of the
new strategy of converting the company into a co-investing asset manager.
The total portfolio under management has increased substantially from £1.5bn to
£2.6bn. Profit before tax was £8.3m (30 June 2002: £2.8m loss) and our total
return, including revaluation gains, was £36.8m compared to £16.6m for the same
period last year. We are also pleased to report that fully diluted asset
backing per share has increased 11.6% to 433p per share over the six month
period.
DIVIDEND
Following the establishment of a strong flow of fee income from our asset
management business, the Board has decided to increase the dividend from 3p to
4p per share. This will be paid on 17 October to shareholders on the register
on 3 October 2003.
SHOPPING CENTRES
The Mall Fund
Gross assets of The Mall Fund have increased from a year end figure of £724.8m
to £978.4m. This includes two principal acquisitions completed in the half
year:
• The Mall Chester - £105.7m
• The Mall Sutton Coldfield - £104.0m
In addition, our ownership at The Mall, Epsom was consolidated with the purchase
of the adjacent High Street, Waterstones unit for £1.6m. These transactions now
bring the total square footage in the Mall Fund to 4.1m.
Mall Fund performance for the half year was 8.0% ungeared and 12.1% geared. The
annualised geared fund return since inception in March 2002 is 26.1%. Rental
values excluding acquisitions made in the half year grew by 1.85% to £83m. Net
rental annual income has risen to £71.25m, an increase of 4.5% on a like for
like basis.
In March 2003, the Fund's equity base was enhanced by a £31m investment by
Scottish Amicable which diluted the Group's share of the fund from 49.4% to
45.8%. At the same time the life of the fund, and of the Group's management
agreement, was extended from 10 to 15 years.
Yesterday we announced that the Mall fund has agreed to buy the Castle Mall
shopping centre in Norwich for £115m. ISIS Property, the vendor, is investing
the entire proceeds in the Mall fund, diluting C&R's interest from 45.8% to
36.7%.
RETAIL PARKS
The Junction Fund
The gross assets of The Junction Fund have increased from a year end figure from
£536m to £749m at June 2003. The first six months performance was 7.4% ungeared
and 11.1% geared. It is estimated that the rental values have increased in the
period by 5.8%. Passing rent has risen by 8% on a like for like basis, and rent
reviews are being achieved above expectations.
In February 2003, The Junction Limited Partnership was part of a consortium
which acquired a substantial portfolio from Chartwell a subsidiary of
Kingfisher. This transaction brought approximately £143m of new stock into The
Junction.
Our first rebranded Junction retail park opened in Hull in April with our first
pre-let "Pod". The occupiers, which include Starbucks and Carphone Warehouse,
are reporting good trade and the visitor numbers to the park and the dwell time
have both increased.
We heard last week that the planning permission for 159,000 sq ft of retail
space had been granted for the Fund's site at Aylesbury. We expect building
work to start later this year.
The Glasgow Fort, Auchinlea
Our retail park division has a joint venture with Pillar to develop a new retail
and leisure park near Glasgow and we are pleased to report significant progress
with a start on site made in March 2003. Leases have been exchanged so far for
a total of £6.1m per annum representing approximately two thirds of the target
rents for the first phase. The key tenants which have been signed to date
include Next, JJB Sports, Virgin, River Island, Arcadia, Argos and Boots. It is
expected that this project will be open for trade in Autumn 2004, and that the
estimated total cost of this phase will be £124m.
Swansea Retail Park
The Group acquired this 30 acre site from Swansea City Council for £24m in July
2003 and construction has just started. It has planning consent for 322,000 sq
ft of retail space and 30,000 sq ft of leisure space. Occupier demand has been
encouraging with pre-lets obtained of more than 190,000 sq ft to destination
anchors including a B&Q store of 102,000 sq ft.
LEISURE
X-Leisure
In January 2003, we acquired a leisure property fund business from Marylebone
Warwick Balfour which manages approximately £500m of leisure property held in
three separate funds. The funds own 18 leisure assets with 2.9m sq ft of space,
including Fountain Park in Edinburgh, Star City in Birmingham and O2 in North
London. A team of 17 joined Capital & Regional and has been merged with the
Capital & Regional unit which manages the Xscape joint ventures, led by PY
Gerbeau.
Since taking over, we have introduced a programme of seasonal events supported
by marketing and PR campaigns. The effect has been to raise awareness in local
communities and increase footfall. The number of voids in the portfolio has
fallen.
We have also started to focus on medium term business plans for adding value to
each individual property. We are now starting to discuss with the investors of
X-Leisure the possibilities for restructuring of the three funds.
Xscape
Our Xscape operations are progressing well. The Milton Keynes Xscape has seen
consistent increases in footfall which is expected to exceed 6m visitors this
year, a 22% increase on last year. This has resulted in increased rental values
as the occupiers trade profitably. The Castleford Xscape is on programme for
completion of construction at the end of September this year with an official
launch in mid October. The project is on budget and on time. 81% of the floor
area has been leased to date with detailed negotiations progressing with
additional operators.
We hope to commence our third Xscape at Braehead, Glasgow in partnership with
Capital Shopping Centres in the summer of 2004.
Great Northern
On 30 May the Group entered into a 50:50 joint venture with AWG, the owners of
the Great Northern Leisure and Retail Complex in Manchester.
This property offers significant opportunities to use Capital & Regional's
retail and leisure expertise to add value through new lettings and more
imaginative use of the space available. The terms of the joint venture enable
us to participate in a disproportionate share of the upside.
OUTLOOK
There is strong interest from investors, both institutional and private for
property in the sectors in which we operate and this has contributed to the
increased valuations. What is really important to us, however, is that our
particular occupiers are generally trading well and demand for space is strong
in all three of the sectors in which we operate. We see no reason in the medium
term for either of these to change and therefore are confident of our future
growth.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CAPITAL & REGIONAL PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2003 which comprises the profit and loss account,
the statement of total recognised gains and losses, the reconciliation of
movements in shareholders' funds, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement and
related notes 1 to 13. 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.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an
independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
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
polices and presentation applied to the interim figures are 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 the 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 June 2003.

6. Intangible assets
The MWB fund management business was acquired on 24 January 2003 for a total
consideration of £31,357,000 which included MWB's 13.29% interest in Leisure
Fund I, 5.72% in Leisure Fund IIa and 7.09% interest in Leisure Fund IIb. The
fair value of the Limited Partner interests in the three funds acquired was
£13,955,000. The remaining £17,402,000 has been treated as goodwill. No
