Adjusted net assets per share excludes fair value adjustments on financial instruments used for hedging purposes and the
bond exchange de-recognition adjustment as management consider this better represents the expected future cash flows of the
Group. EPRA measures have been included to assist comparison between European property companies. We believe our measure of
adjusted net assets attributable to the owners of the parent is more indicative of underlying performance. 
 
 7. Earnings per share    
 
 
Earnings per share (EPS) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share. 
 
The Group has also chosen to disclose adjusted earnings per share in order to provide an indication of the Group's
underlying business performance. Adjusted earnings per share exclude items of a capital nature and one-off items. We
believe our measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share is more appropriate than the EPRA measure in the context of our
business.

1.    The PID/non-PID split relates to cash dividends. All scrip dividends have been non-PID. 
 
A third quarterly interim dividend of 7.9p per ordinary share, or £62.4m in total (2014: 7.6p or £59.8m in total), was paid
on 10 April 2015 as a Property Income Distribution (PID). The Board has recommended a final quarterly dividend for the year
ended 31 March 2015 of 8.15p per ordinary share (2014: 7.9p) to be paid as a PID. This final dividend will result in a
further estimated distribution of £64.4m (2014: £62.4m). Subject to shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting,
the final dividend will be paid on 24 July 2015 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 19 June 2015. The
total dividend paid and recommended in respect of the year ended 31 March 2015 is 31.85p (2014: 30.7p). 
 
The Company operated a scrip dividend scheme during part of the year and the scrip dividend amount of £17.2m (2014: £61.1m)
comprised a wholly non-PID distribution. A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) was introduced in place of the scrip dividend
scheme and was operated for the first time in respect of last year's final dividend paid on 22 July 2014.

joint arrangements own and operate investment property with the exception of The Ebbsfleet Limited Partnership and
Countryside Land Securities (Springhead) Limited, which hold development land as trading properties. The 20 Fenchurch
Street Limited Partnership, Nova, Victoria and The Oriana Limited Partnership are also engaged in the development of
investment properties, with the latter two also developing trading properties. The activities of all the Group's joint
arrangements are therefore strategically important to the business activities of the Group. 
 
All joint ventures are registered in England and Wales with the exception of the Metro Shopping Fund Limited Partnership
and West India Quay Unit Trust which are registered in Jersey.
