Accounting policies The principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year except as noted below, are as follows: a) Basis of accounting The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and in accordance with all applicable accounting standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1985, except as explained below. b) Basis of consolidation The group accounts consolidate the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries and include the Group's share of the results of its joint ventures and associates. No profit and loss account is presented for the Company, as permitted by section 230 of the Companies Act 1985. The results of newly acquired entities are included in the consolidated accounts from the effective date of acquisition. c) Goodwill Goodwill arising on consolidation is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account over a period of 20 years or less in line with the Directors' view of its useful economic life. Negative goodwill, which arises as a result of the fair value of property assets less liabilities acquired exceeding the related purchase consideration, is credited to other capital reserves in the balance sheet. This represents a departure from FRS 10, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which requires that negative goodwill be treated as a fixed asset. Given that the negative goodwill relates principally to the investment properties acquired, which are neither depreciated nor held for re-sale, the Directors consider that to retain it as a negative asset on the face of the balance sheet indefinitely would not properly reflect the substance of such a transaction nor result in the financial statements giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group. The treatment adopted is not inconsistent with the requirements of the Companies Act 1985. The effect of this treatment on these financial statements in respect of the acquisition of Wembley (London) Ltd has been to increase total fixed assets and total reserves on the consolidated balance sheet by Â£1,555,000 (2002: Â£ nil), representing the amount of the negative goodwill. d) Foreign currencies All assets, liabilities and results denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the year end. The rates ruling at the current year end were as follows: 2003 2002 _______ _______ France Â£1 = â‚¬ 1.45 â‚¬ 1.63 United States Â£1 = US $ 1.58 US $ 1.42 Differences arising from the translation of the net equity investment in overseas subsidiaries are dealt with through reserves. e) Turnover Turnover is stated net of VAT and comprises rental income proceeds from sales of trading properties, commissions and fees receivable. Rent increases arising from rent reviews due during the year are taken into account only to the extent that such reviews are agreed with tenants at the accounting date. When rent free periods are granted with new leases, rental income is allocated evenly over the period from the commencement of the lease to the date of the first rent review. Where a tenant inducement does not enhance the value of the property, it is amortised over the period to the earlier of the first rent review, the first tenant break option or the end of the lease term. f) Disposal of properties Sales of properties are recognised in the accounts if an unconditional contract is exchanged by the balance sheet date and the sale is completed before the accounts are approved by the Board. Profits or losses arising from the sale of investment properties are calculated by reference to book value and treated as exceptional items, while those arising from the sale of trading properties are included in the profit and loss account as part of the operating profit of the Group. g) Depreciation In accordance with SSAP 19, Investment Properties, no depreciation is provided in respect of the Group's freehold properties and leasehold investment properties with over 20 years to run. This represents a departure from the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 which requires all properties to be depreciated. Such properties are held not for consumption but for investment and the Directors consider that to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation of properties and accordingly the amount of depreciation which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified. Depreciation is provided on other fixed assets on a straight line basis having regard to their estimated useful lives of between three and eight years. h) Valuation of properties Investment properties are independently valued annually by external professional valuers on an open market basis. Investment properties under development are stated at estimated market value on completion, supported by an independent valuation, less estimated costs to complete. Any surplus or deficit on revaluation is transferred to the revaluation reserve except that deficits below original cost which are expected to be permanent are charged to the profit and loss account. Finance charges incurred on investment properties under development are capitalised within the historical cost until practical completion. Trading properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. i) Investments in joint ventures and associates In accordance with FRS 9, Associates and Joint Ventures, joint ventures are included under the gross equity method. As a result, the Group's balance sheet discloses the Group's share of the gross assets and gross liabilities of the joint ventures. Associates are shown at the Group's share of their net assets. In both cases, the Group's share of operating profit, net interest payable and taxation are included in the Group's profit and loss account. j) Other investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less any provision for permanent impairment in value. k) Financial instruments The Group uses interest rate swaps for hedging purposes in line with its risk management policies to alter the risk profile of existing underlying exposure in respect of floating rate debt. Amounts payable and receivable in respect of interest rate swaps are recognised as adjustments to interest expense over the period of the contracts. l) Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS 19, Deferred Taxation. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that they are considered recoverable. m) Pensions The Group makes pre-defined contributions to employees' personal pension plans. n) Change in accounting policy: Pre-contract costs In accordance with the Urgent Issues Taskforce Abstract 34, expenditure incurred prior to obtaining preferred bidder status from English Partnerships in relation to the Millennium Dome and the redevelopment of other parts of the Greenwich Peninsula has been charged in the profit and loss account. In adopting this Abstract, the results for the year ended 31 March 2002 have been restated as set out below.

The Group does not speculate in treasury products but uses these only to limit potential interest rate fluctuations.

At the year end, 100% (2002: 100%) of the Group's net debt was fixed or protected, and the weighted average rate of debt was 6.17% (2002: 6.37%).

At the year end, the weighted average tenure of the Group's sterling debt was 6 years (2002: 6 years). The Group borrows in the same currency as the assets being financed to minimise foreign currency risk. No currency derivatives are used. 17.
