All results are derived from activities conducted in the United Kingdom. 
 
The results for the car park operations include the car park at the Merrion
Centre. As the value of the car park cannot be separated from the value of the
Merrion Centre as a whole, the full value of the Merrion Centre is included
within the assets of the property rental business. 
 
The car park results also include car park income from sites that are held for
future development. The value of these sites has been determined based on
their development value and therefore the total value of these assets has been
included within the assets of the property rental business. 
 
The net revenue at the Merrion Centre and development sites for the year ended
30 June 2016, arising from car park operations, was £3,052,000. After allowing
for an allocation of administrative expenses, the operating profit at these
sites was £2,201,000.

The historical cost of freehold and leasehold properties relating to car park
activities is £21,747,000. 
 
The Company occupies an office suite in part of the Merrion Centre. The
Directors do not consider this element to be material. 
 
The fair value of the Group's investment and development properties has been
determined principally by independent, appropriately qualified external
valuers CBRE, Jones Lang LaSalle and Sanderson Weatherall. The remainder of
the portfolio has been valued by the Property Director. 
 
Valuations are performed bi-annually and are performed consistently across the
Group's whole portfolio of properties. At each reporting date appropriately
qualified employees verify all significant inputs and review computational
outputs. The external valuers submit and present summary reports to the
Property Director and the Board on the outcome of each valuation round. 
 
Valuations take into account tenure, lease terms and structural condition. The
inputs underlying the valuations include market rents or business
profitability, incentives offered to tenants, forecast growth rates, market
yields and discount rates and selling costs including stamp duty. 
 
The development properties principally comprise land in Leeds and Manchester.
These have also been valued by appropriately qualified external valuers
Sanderson Weatherall, taking into account the income from car parking and an
assessment of their realisable value in their existing state and condition
based on market evidence of comparable transactions. 
 
Property income, values and yields have been set out by category in the table

The effect on the valuation of applying a different yield and a different ERV
would be as follows: 
 
Valuation in the Consolidated Financial Statements at an initial yield of 6.8%
- £304.2m, Valuation at 4.8% - £409.4m. 
 
Valuation in the Consolidated Financial Statements at a reversionary yield of
7.2% - £306.6m, Valuation at 5.2% - £404.5m. 
 
Property valuations can be reconciled to the carrying value of the properties

Leasehold improvements primarily relate to expenditure incurred on the
refurbishment of three car parks in Watford that are held under operating
leases. 
 
All investment properties measured at fair value in the consolidated balance
sheet are categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in
IFRS13 as one or more inputs to the valuation are partly based on unobservable
market data. In arriving at their valuation for each property (as in prior
years) both the independent valuers and the Property Director have used the
actual rent passing and have also formed an opinion as to the two significant
unobservable inputs being the market rental for that property and the yield
(i.e. the discount rate) which a potential purchaser would apply in arriving
at the market value. Both these inputs are arrived at using market comparables
for the type, location and condition of the property.

Investments in joint ventures primarily relate to the Group's interest in the
partnership capital of Merrion House LLP. This joint venture owns a long
leasehold interest over a property that is let to the Group's joint venture
partner, Leeds City Council ('LCC'). The property is currently in the process
of a complete refurbishment. Under the arrangement LCC is required to
contribute a fixed amount in cash and the Group is required to contribute the
property and the balance of refurbishment cost. The net commitment from the
Group in relation to this arrangement that has not yet been incurred is
£8,890,000. The interest in the joint venture for each partner is an equal 50%
share, regardless of the level of overall contributions from each partner. The
investment property held within this partnership has been externally valued by
CBRE at each reporting date. 
 
The share of profits after tax of £1.4m includes an adjustment of £2.5m in
respect of the property transferred to Merrion House LLP in the prior year,
less the share of losses in the current period of £1.2m. 
 
The net assets of Merrion House LLP for the current and previous year are as
stated below:

material. 
 
The joint ventures have no significant contingent liabilities to which the
Group is exposed nor has the Group any significant contingent liabilities in
relation to its interest in the joint ventures.

11.Restatement of prior year figures 
 
As reported in our interim report, a detailed review has recently been
performed to ensure all of the Group's accounting policies are being applied
appropriately. This review has identified certain areas that have previously
not been accounted for in accordance with those accounting policies. These
areas are summarised as follows: 
 
a)      Unamortised lease incentives have historically been recognised as a
separate asset within the balance sheet. An adjustment of £4.0m has been made
to the previously reported figures to de-recognise this asset and offset the
movement in lease incentives against the valuation surplus on investment
properties in each period. 
 
b)      Two of the properties held under long leasehold agreements have
historically not been recognised as finance leases. The discounted value of
rents payable on these leases amounting to £4.5m has now been recognised
within financial liabilities with a corresponding increase in the fair value
of long leasehold properties within investment properties. 
 
c)      The Group's development land assets have previously not been
recognised at fair value. These assets have therefore been revalued based on
fair value, resulting in an increase of £4.0m to the valuation at 30 June
2015. 
 
d)      Previously, three properties used in the car park business have been
classified within investment properties. The fair value of these assets at 30
June 2015 of £13.3m has been re-classified from investment properties to
freehold and leasehold properties. 
 
e)      Consideration paid for the acquisition of two car park businesses has
previously been recognised within tangible fixed assets as lease premiums.
These acquisitions are considered to be Business Combinations under IFRS3
(revised). The consideration is considered to represent goodwill on
acquisition and £4.0m at 30 June 2015 has therefore been reclassified
accordingly. 
 
The impact on total assets and total liabilities as a result of the accounting
adjustments arising from the above is set out in the table below. There has
been no impact on the net assets or earnings per share as a result of these
adjustments.
