Factors that may affect future current and total tax charges 
 
The March 2013 UK Budget announced that the UK corporation tax rate will reduce to 20% by 2015. Reductions in the rate from
23% to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013.
This would reduce the Company's future tax charge accordingly. 
 
From 11 May 2007, the Group elected to join the UK REIT regime. As a result, the Group will be exempt from corporation tax
on the profits and gains from its property investment business from this date, provided it continues to meet certain
conditions. Non-qualifying profits and gains of the Group (the residual business) continue to be subject to corporation
tax. The directors consider that all the rental income post-11 May 2007 originates from the Group's tax exempt business. 
 
Due to the availability of losses no provision for corporation tax has been made in these accounts. The deferred tax asset
not recognised relating to these losses can be carried forward indefinitely. It is not anticipated that sufficient profits
from the residual business will be generated in the foreseeable future to utilise the losses carried forward as the current
year losses will be adequate to cover foreseeable profits. The unprovided deferred tax asset at 30 September 2014 was
£3,224,000 (2013: £2,648,000).

The investment properties have all been revalued to their fair value at 30 September 2014. 
 
At the half year and year end, all properties acquired in those six months, together with a sample selected by the valuers
of 25% of the portfolio, at the half year and at the year end have been valued by Allsop LLP, a firm of independent
Chartered Surveyors. The valuations were undertaken in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
Appraisal and Valuation Standards on the basis of market value. Market value is defined as the estimated amount for which a
property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length
transaction, after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. 
 
The disposals balance includes properties at carrying value of £78.2m that were disposed of as part of the NOS 2 and NOS 3
transaction. 
 
The remainder of the portfolio has been valued on the basis of market value by the directors who have an appropriate
recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. 
 
All rental income recognised in the Income Statement is generated by the investment properties held and all direct
operating expenses incurred resulted from investment properties that generated rental income. 
 
A reconciliation of the portfolio valuation to the total value given in the Balance Sheet for investment properties is as
follows: 
 
                                                                                    2014     2013

On 26 November 2010 an agreement was entered into with Local Parade Investments LLP ("LPI"), a newly incorporated entity.
The initial investment made was £20. The principal activity of the entity is the acquisition and management of retail
parades. This investment was disposed of as part of the reconstruction following the strategic review, in July 2013. This
is now reflected in discontinued operations (note 25). 
 
On 28 September 2011 an agreement was entered into with Gracechurch Commercial Investments Limited ("Gracechurch"), a newly
incorporated entity. The initial investment made was £500,000. The principal activity of the entity is to manage properties
for investment purposes. During the year the entire portfolio of Gracechurch was disposed of, and since the year end the
company has commenced the process of a members' voluntary liquidation.
