The revaluation of the investment property portfolio at the year
end has resulted in a net valuation surplus for the year of
GBP144,508,000 (2016 - GBP117,947,000). The board has recommended a
final dividend of 63p per share in respect of the year ended 31
March 2017 payable on 10 November 2017 to shareholders on the
register on 13 October 2017. This will make a total dividend for
the year of 98p (2016 - 93p).
Earnings per share is calculated by reference to profit on
ordinary activities after taxation attributable to equity holders
of the parent of GBP161,779,000 (2016 - GBP142,900,000) and
16,295,357 (2016 - 16,295,357) ordinary shares being the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Equity
shareholders' funds per share is calculated by reference to total
equity attributable to equity holders of the parent of
GBP1,655,715,000 (2016 - GBP1,480,025,000) and the ordinary shares
detailed above.

Notes
1. The financial information set out in this Preliminary
Announcement does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts
for the years ended 31 March 2017 or 2016. The financial
information for 2016 is derived from the statutory accounts for
2016 which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
Auditors have reported on the 2016 accounts; their report was (i)
unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to
which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying their report and (iii) did not contain a statement under
Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory
accounts for 2017 will be finalised on the basis of the financial
information presented by the Directors in this Preliminary
Announcement and using policies consistent in all material respects
with the policies applied in the Company's statutory accounts for
2016, as set out in those accounts as delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The statutory accounts for 2017 will be delivered to the
Registrar of Companies following the Company's next Annual General
Meeting.
2. Significant judgements and estimates
In preparing the financial information the Group must make a
number of judgements and estimates. Management consider the
following judgements and estimates to be particularly significant
because of the level of complexity, judgement or estimation
involved in their application and their impact on the financial
information.
i. Property valuations
The valuation of the Group's property portfolio is inherently
subjective, depending on many factors, including the individual
nature of each property, its location and expected future net
rental values, market yields and comparable market transactions.
Therefore the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and
are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be
accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic
conditions following the EU Referendum and UK general election. All
the Group's properties are valued by external valuers with
appropriate qualifications and experience.
In the UK the aggregate amount of the valuation is
GBP1,668,630,000 at 31 March 2017 and in the US the aggregate
amount of the valuation is GBP602,466,000 at 31 March 2017. Both
are based on the open market values assessed in accordance with
professional standards. The aggregate professional valuations
included in the balance sheet have been reduced by an amount of
GBP14,296,000 relating to lease incentives included in Trade and
other receivables.
ii. Income taxes
The tax treatment of some transactions and calculations cannot
be determined until a formal resolution has been reached with the
relevant tax authorities. In particular, the Group is discussing
the treatment of historical financing arrangements with tax
authorites. In such cases, a best estimate of the relevant tax
charge or credit is made, having regard to the extent of
uncertainties associated with it. Where the final outcome of such
matters is different from amounts initially recorded, those
differences will be reflected in the income and deferred tax
amounts at the time of the formal resolution.
Additionally, judgement has been exercised in relation to the
recognition of deferred tax assets where the utilisation of the
underlying tax losses is uncertain. Such resolution can take a long
time to achieve due to the complexity of tax legislation.

The Group's overall effective tax rate was 18.3% (2016 - 17.5%).
In the UK, the effective tax rate was 11.3% (2016 - 8.0%); 2016
benefited from a reduction in the rate of future deferred tax from
20% to 18%. A further, but smaller, reduction of the future
deferred tax rate from 18% to 17% took place in 2017(effective 1
April 2020). In the USA, the effective rate has remained consistent
and in line with the statutory rate at 40.6% (2016 - 39.5%).

7. Financial Instruments - fair value disclosure
The Group seeks to reduce interest rate risk by fixing rates on
the majority of its loans and borrowings, either through the use of
the fixed rate mortgage finance or through interest rate swaps. The
Group does not speculate in treasury products.
The Group does not hedge account and all its interest rate swaps
are initially recognised and subsequently recorded at fair value,
with any movement being recorded in the consolidated income
statement. The fair values of all interest rate swaps and fixed
rate loans are determined by reference to observable inputs that
are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy set out in
International Financial Reporting Standard 13 Fair Value
Measurement. Fair values have been determined by discounting
expected future cash flows using market interest rates and yield
curves over the remaining term of the instrument, as adjusted to
reflect the credit risk attributable to the Group and, where
relevant, its counterparty.

measurements and there were no material differences between the
fair value and carrying amounts of all the other financial assets
of the Group.
