3 TAXATION
The tax charge for the six months ended 30 June 2001 is based on the
projected effective tax rate for the full year. The charge reflects the
recovery of advance corporation tax previously written off and allowances for
capital expenditure. The charge includes overseas taxation of £0.1m (30 June
2000: £0.3m). No tax has been charged on the sale of investment properties in
the period.
4 DIVIDENDS
The directors have declared an interim dividend of 4.58 pence per share (30
June 2000: 4.40 pence per share) payable on 1 November 2001 to shareholders
on the register at the close of business on 28 September 2001.
Notes to the Accounts
5 EARNINGS PER SHARE AND NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the
financial period of £34.5m by the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the six months ended 30 June 2001 of 280.7m and excludes those shares
held in the Hammerson Deferred Share Plan (note 7) which are treated as
cancelled. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise of conversion
rights relating to the convertible bonds and of options relating to shares,
and is calculated on the diluted profit for the period of £34.5m and the
diluted weighted average number of shares of 281.3m. Adjusted earnings per
share excludes exceptional items and is calculated on the adjusted profit for
the period of £31.6m and the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the period. Exceptional items increased earnings per share by 1.0
pence in the six months ended 30 June 2001.
The calculations for basic and diluted net asset value per share at 30 June
2001 are shown in the table below:

30 June
2001
All properties are stated at market value as at 30 June 2001, valued by
professionally qualified external valuers. With the exception of the
properties shown below they have been valued by Jones Lang LaSalle, Chartered
Surveyors. In the United Kingdom the valuation was performed jointly with
Donaldsons, Chartered Surveyors. The group's interests in the Birmingham
Alliance properties were valued by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung, Chartered
Surveyors and the group's interest in the Oracle Shopping Centre was valued
by Donaldsons. The valuations have been prepared in accordance with the
Appraisal and Valuation Manual of The Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors.
At 30 June 2001 the total amount of interest included in development
properties was £14.2m (31 December 2000: £6.6m).
Should the group's properties be sold at their valuation a tax liability of
approximately £138m (31 December 2000: £151m) would arise, equivalent to 45
pence per share (31 December 2000: 49 pence per share) on a diluted net asset
value per share basis. No provision for this contingent liability has been
made, as it is not expected that any liability will arise in the foreseeable
future.

The group has a 57.2% interest in Value Retail Investors Limited Partnership
I and a 31.4% interest in Value Retail Investors Limited Partnership II, both
of which have interests in a designer outlet centre in Bicester, in the
United Kingdom. The interests were acquired at a total cost of £10.9m and are
included at a total market value at 30 June 2001 of £13.9m, the property
elements of which have been reviewed by Donaldsons, Chartered Surveyors.
These investments have not been consolidated within the group accounts as the
group does not have a significant influence over the management of the
partnerships.
The Company's own shares were acquired by the Trustees of the Hammerson
Deferred Share Plan at a cost of £3.2m (nominal value £0.2m) and may be
awarded to participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The cost of
the shares is being amortised over the anticipated vesting periods, taking
account of the group's financial performance. The amortisation is included in
staff costs within administration expenses.

Details of the group's cash and short term deposits are set out in note 9.
Their fair values equate to their book values.
The fair values of the group's long term borrowings and convertible bonds
have been estimated on the basis of quoted market prices.
The fair values of the group's outstanding interest rate and foreign currency
swaps have been estimated by calculating the present value of future cash
flows, using appropriate market discount rates. The adjustment on interest
rate swaps at 30 June 2001 of £11.9m includes £1.6m (31 December 2000: £0.1m)
relating to swaps maturing in less than one year.
The fair values of other long term creditors equate to their book values.
Short term debtors and creditors have been excluded from these disclosures as
permitted by Financial Reporting Standard 13.
At 30 June 2001 the fair value of financial liabilities exceeded their book
value by £52.3m (31 December 2000: £63.9m), equivalent to 17 pence per share
(31 December 2000: 21 pence per share) on a diluted net asset value per share
basis.

For the year ended 31 December 2000, the group changed its accounting policy
so that all investment properties are included in the balance sheet at market
value. Previously, properties held for or in the course of development were
included in the balance sheet at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
Comparative figures for 30 June 2000 have been restated in accordance with
the revised policy, the effect of which has been to increase land and
buildings and shareholders' funds by £58.0m at that date. Under the previous
accounting policy, land and buildings and shareholders' funds at 30 June 2001
would be reduced by £101.8m.
