Notes to the Financial Statements
C1. Accounting Policies

relation to the Company's financial statements.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK Accounting Standards and under the historical
cost accounting rules.
Cash Flow Statement
Under FRS 1, the Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the Company is
included in its own published consolidated financial statements.
Related Party Transactions
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 8 - Related Party Transactions and has not disclosed transactions
or balances with entities which form part of the Group as these consolidated financial statements include the results of
these entities.
Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted the requirements of FRS 29 - Financial Instruments Disclosures and has taken the exemption under
that standard from disclosure on the grounds that the Group financial statements contain disclosures in compliance with
IFRS 7.
Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at historic cost less provisions for impairment.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Following the termination of the Company's office lease in 2013, all tangible assets were written off in that year.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the result for the period and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing
differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax 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.
Pensions
The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan. Contributions payable by the Company in respect of defined
contribution pension plans are charged to administrative expenses as incurred.
Share-Based Payments
There were no material share-based payment arrangements during the period.
Employee Benefit Trust
The Company operates an Employee Benefit Trust in order to hedge its obligations under the CSOP and LTIP schemes. The

the Employee Benefit Trust are treated as being those of the Company and are reflected in the Company's financial
statements.
Ordinary Share Capital
External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Shares which have been repurchased are classified as treasury shares and shown in retained earnings. They are recognised at
the trade date for the amount of consideration paid, together with directly attributable costs. This is presented as a
deduction from total equity. Shares held by the Employee Benefit Trust are treated as being those of the Company.
Profit for the Financial Year

account in these financial statements. The Company's profit for the year was £71,000 (2014: loss (£3,016,000))

Glossary
Adjusted Net Asset Value ("Adjusted NAV") per share
Adjusted NAV is calculated as shareholders' funds, adjusted by the fair value of the derivative financial instruments held
on the Balance Sheet, divided by the number of shares in issue at the year end, excluding treasury shares.
Earnings Per Share ("EPS")
EPS is calculated as profit attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue in the
year.
Equivalent Yield
Equivalent yield is a weighted average of the initial yield and reversionary yield and represents the return a property
will produce based upon the timing of the income received. In accordance with usual practice, the equivalent yields (as
determined by the Group's external valuers) assume rent received annually in arrears and on gross values including
prospective purchasers' costs (including stamp duty, and agents' and legal fees).
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
FFO is a term adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. It is calculated as net income adjusted
for depreciation of investment properties and gains/losses on sales of investment properties.
Head Lease
A head lease is a lease under which the Group holds an investment property.
Initial Yield
Initial yield is the annualised net rent generated by a property expressed as a percentage of the property valuation. In
accordance with usual practice the property value is grossed up to include prospective purchasers' costs.
Interest Cover
Interest cover can be calculated in a number of ways. The Group interest cover given in the Finance Review is based on the
percentage of times gross rental income covers financing
expenses.
Actual and Forecast Interest Cover Test (ICR)
The ICRs given in the Finance Review are calculated as defined in the loan facility agreements. Each bank loan has a
charge on a specific pool of property and the ICRs are calculated based on the gross rental income, less an adjustment for
unrecoverable costs compared to the interest charged on that loan for that particular pool of assets.
Interest Rate Swap
An interest rate swap is a financial instrument where two parties agree to exchange an interest rate obligation for a
predetermined amount of time. These are used by the Group to convert floating rate debt to fixed rates.
Investment Property Databank Ltd ("IPD")
IPD produces an independent benchmark of property returns.
Initial Public Offering ("IPO")
An IPO is the first sale of shares by a privately owned company on a Stock Exchange. LSR issued its shares for sale on 2
May 2007.
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
LIBOR is the interest rate charged by one bank to another bank for lending money.
Loan-to-value ("LTV")
Loan-to-value is the ratio of debt, excluding any mark-to-market adjustments, to the value of investment properties.
Market Value
Market value is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer
and willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably,
prudently and
without compulsion.
Market Rent
Market rent is the estimated amount for which a property should lease on the date of valuation between a willing lessor and
a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms, in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing wherein the parties had
each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share
NAV per share is calculated as shareholders' funds divided by the number of shares in issue at the year end excluding
treasury shares.
Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT")
A REIT is a listed property company which qualifies for and has elected into a tax regime, which exempts qualifying UK
property rental income and gains on investment property disposals from corporation tax. LSR converted to REIT status on 11
May 2007.
Recurring Profit
Recurring profit is calculated by adjusting the statutory IFRS reported result for: the movement in the fair value of the
property portfolio; the movement in the fair value of financial derivatives held; any profit or loss realised on the sale
of properties or other fixed assets; and other one-off, non-recurring income or costs incurred which are not considered to
be sustainable or of a recurring nature.
Rent Roll
Rent roll is the total contractual annualised rent receivable from the portfolio net of any head rent payments.
Reversionary Yield
Reversionary yield is the annualised net rent that would be generated by a property if it were fully let at market rent
expressed as a percentage of the property valuation. In accordance with usual practice the property value is grossed up to
include prospective purchasers' costs.
