Medium term notes (MTNs) 
 
The MTNs are secured on the fixed and floating pool of assets of the Security Group. Debt investors benefit from security
over a pool of investment properties, development properties and the Group's investment in Westgate Oxford Alliance Limited
Partnership, Nova, Victoria, the St. David's Limited Partnership and additionally in the period, 20 Fenchurch Street
Limited Partnership, valued at £13.0bn at 30 September 2016 (31 March 2016: £12.6bn). The secured debt structure has a
tiered operating covenant regime which gives the Group substantial flexibility when the loan-to-value and interest cover in
the Security Group are less than 65% and more than 1.45 times respectively. If these limits are exceeded, the operating
environment becomes more restrictive with provisions to encourage a reduction in gearing. The interest rate is fixed until
the expected maturity, being two years before the legal maturity date for each MTN, whereupon the interest rate for the
last two years is LIBOR plus an increased margin. The effective interest rate is based on the coupon paid and includes the
amortisation of issue costs. The MTNs are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and their fair values are based on their
respective market prices. 
 
During the period, the Group purchased £45.8m MTNs for a premium of £10.2m. On 2 June 2016, the Group purchased £2.0m of
its 4.875% MTN due in 2025, £19.6m of its 5.391% MTN due in 2026 and £23.5m of its 5.391% MTN due in 2027. On 4 July, the
Group purchased £0.1m of its 5.396% MTN due in 2032. On 18 July 2016, the Group purchased a further £0.6m of its 5.391% MTN
due in 2026. At 30 September 2016, the Group had £2,468.6m of MTNs outstanding with maturities between 2022 and 2036.

The terms of the Security Group funding arrangements require undrawn facilities to be reserved where syndicated and
bilateral facilities mature within one year, or where commercial paper has been issued. Accordingly, the Group's available
undrawn facilities at 30 September 2016 were £1,408.8m (31 March 2016: £1,432.5m), compared with undrawn facilities of
£1,760.0m (31 March 2016: £1,435.0m). 
 
All syndicated and bilateral facilities are committed and secured on the assets of the Security Group. In the six month
period ended 30 September 2016, the amounts drawn under the Group's bilateral facilities and syndicated bank debt decreased
by £240.0m. On 14 June 2016, £350.0m bilateral facilities held at 31 March 2016 were cancelled and replaced by £435.0m of
syndicated debt with a maturity of 14 June 2021. 
 
Queen Anne's Gate Bond 
 
On 29 July 2009, the Group issued a £360.3m bond secured on the rental cash flows from the commercial lease with the UK
Government over Queen Anne's Gate (QAG). The QAG Bond is a fully amortising bond with a final maturity in February 2027 and
a fixed interest rate of 5.253% per annum. At 30 September 2016, the bond had an amortised book value of £281.5m (31 March
2016: £289.4m). 
 
Fair values 
 
The fair values of any floating rate financial liabilities are assumed to be equal to their nominal value, but adjusted for
the effect of exit fees payable on redemption. The fair values of the MTNs and the QAG Bond fall within Level 1, the
syndicated, bilateral facilities, commercial paper, interest-rate swaps and foreign exchange swaps fall within Level 2, and
the amounts payable under finance leases fall within Level 3, as defined by IFRS 13. The fair value of the amounts payable
under finance leases is determined using a discount rate of 4.7% (31 March 2016: 4.9%). 
 
Bond exchange de-recognition 
 
On 3 November 2004, a debt refinancing was completed resulting in the Group exchanging all of its outstanding bond and
debenture debt for new MTNs with higher nominal values. The new MTNs did not meet the IAS 39 requirement to be
substantially different from the debt that they replaced. Consequently, the book value of the new debt is reduced to the
book value of the original debt by the 'bond exchange de-recognition' adjustment which is then amortised to zero over the
life of the new MTNs. The amortisation is included in interest expense in the income statement.

Table 11: Alternative performance measures 
 
The Group has applied the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) 'Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures'
in these half-yearly results. In the context of these half-yearly results, an alternative performance measure (APM) is a
financial measure of historical or future financial performance, position or cash flows of the Group which is not a measure
defined or specified in IFRSs. 
 
The table below summarises the APMs included in these half-yearly results, where the definitions and reconciliations of
these measures can be found, as well where further discussion is included. The definitions of all APMs are included in the
Glossary and further discussion of these measures can be found in the financial review.

Refer to notes 7 and 8 to the financial statements for further analysis. 
 
1.    EPRA adjusted earnings and EPRA adjusted earnings per share include the amortisation of bond exchange de-recognition
of £12.4m and the net head office relocation credit of £1.7m. 
 
2.    EPRA adjusted net assets and adjusted diluted net assets per share include the bond exchange de-recognition
adjustment of £349.5m. 
 
3.    Our NIY and Topped-up NIY relate to the Combined Portfolio, excluding properties in the development programme that
have not yet reached practical completion, and are calculated by our external valuer. EPRA NIY and EPRA Topped-up NIY
calculations are consistent with ours, but excludes all developments. 
 
4.    Our measure reflects voids in our like-for-like portfolio only. The EPRA measure reflects voids in the Combined
Portfolio excluding only the development programme. 
 
5.    The EPRA cost ratio is calculated based on gross rental income after rents payable, whereas our measure is based on
gross rental income before rents payable. We do not calculate a cost ratio excluding direct vacancy costs as we do not
consider this to be helpful.

3.    Once properties are transferred from the development pipeline, we do not report on their individual value. 
 
Where the property is not 100% owned, floor areas and letting status shown above represent the full scheme whereas all
other figures represent our proportionate share. Letting % is measured by ERV and shows letting status at 30 September
2016. Trading property development schemes are excluded from the development pipeline. 
 
Total development cost 
 
Refer to glossary for definition. Of the properties in the development pipeline at 30 September 2016, the only properties
on which interest was capitalised on the land cost were Westgate Oxford and Nova, Victoria, SW1 - Phase I. The figures for
total development costs include expenditure on the residential elements of Westgate Oxford (£12.2m). 
 
Net income/ERV 
 
Net income/ERV represents headline annual rent on let units plus ERV at 30 September 2016 on unlet units, both after rents
payable.
