transactions in accordance with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' and therefore
applied purchase accounting. Further details on each acquisition is below: 
 
Bluewater, Kent 
 
On 24 June 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Greenhithe Holdings Limited (GHL) for a cash
consideration of £694.3m from Lend Lease Bluewater Limited. The Group incurred £2.7m of business combination costs in
connection with the transaction. 
 
GHL owned, through its subsidiary undertakings, a 30% interest in Bluewater, a shopping centre in Kent, full asset
management rights for the centre and 110 acres of surrounding land. 
 
On acquisition, the Group recognised an intangible asset of £30.0m, representing the estimated fair value of the management
rights for the centre, together with a corresponding deferred tax liability of £6.0m. The intangible asset is being
amortised over a period of 20 years. 
 
Goodwill of £35.5m arose on the transaction, primarily representing the difference between the value of the investment
property attributed by our external valuers, and the consideration paid. The difference is largely due to prospective
purchasers' costs, which are deducted by the external valuer in determining the investment property value, as well as a
lower value being attributed to the 110 acres of surrounding land, where management felt it was appropriate to pay a
premium for the land on the basis of its long-term potential and its adjacency to the Group's land at Ebbsfleet. The Group
has considered whether this element of the goodwill is recoverable, and has concluded that it is not. The purchasers' costs
could potentially be recovered if a future sale was structured through a corporate transaction, but the Group does not
consider there to be sufficient certainty to deem this element of the goodwill to be recoverable. Similarly, the Group's
longer term plans for the outer land and the potential synergies with the Group's existing holdings are at an early stage,
making the recoverable amount uncertain at this time. £29.5m of goodwill has therefore been written off to the income
statement in the year. 
 
The remaining goodwill of £6.0m represents goodwill arising on the deferred tax liability. The deferred tax liability will
be released to the income statement as the intangible asset is amortised, and the corresponding element of the goodwill
will be tested for impairment. At 31 March 2015, the carrying value of both the deferred tax liability and the goodwill was
£5.8m. 
 
Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow 
 
On 31 October 2014, the Group acquired the remaining 50% interest in Buchanan Galleries from its joint venture partner, The
Henderson UK Shopping Centre Fund, for total consideration of £137.1m. The consideration consisted of a net cash
consideration of £9.2m as well as the Group's interests in certain investment properties within its Exeter joint operation,
in particular Princesshay, together with associated working capital for a total acquisition date fair value of £127.9m. 
 
Buchanan Galleries currently totals 600,000 sq ft of prime retail space and the Group has planning consent for a leisure
and retail extension which would extend the centre to 1.2m sq ft of retail, leisure and restaurant space. 
 
The fair value of the consideration paid was less than the value of the identifiable assets and, as a result, a gain of
£2.2m has been recognised in the income statement on acquisition within net gain on business combinations. In addition,
£6.1m of transaction related costs are included within costs. The gain on business combination of £2.2m reflects a £0.6m
gain on bargain purchase and a £1.6m gain on revaluation of our existing interest at the date of acquisition.

Pro forma information 
 
Since the date of acquisition, the acquisitions have contributed the following to the revenue of the Group and the profit
after tax for the year:

                   £m         £m                  £m

 Profit after tax  12.8       1.9                 14.7   
 
 
If the acquisitions had been made on 1 April 2014, revenue and profit after tax would have been higher by £14.0m and £7.9m
respectively. 
 
In calculating the pro forma information, the results of the acquired entities for the period before acquisition have been
adjusted to reflect Land Securities' accounting policies and any fair value adjustments made on acquisition. The
information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of the combined
Group that would have occurred had the purchases actually been made at the beginning of the financial year, or indicative

Refer to notes 6, 7 and table 12 for further analysis. 
 
1.    EPRA adjusted earnings and EPRA adjusted earnings per share include the effect of bond exchange de-recognition
charges of £21.5m. 
 
2.    EPRA adjusted net assets and adjusted diluted net assets per share include the bond exchange de-recognition
adjustment of £391.7m. 
 
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 valuers. EPRA NIY and EPRA Topped-up NIY
calculations are consistent with ours, but exclude the full development programme. 
 
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. For further information on our costs and costs ratio see table 12.
