The Additional Guarantors are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Issuer.
Certain REIT Group audited consolidated figures
The figures in the table as set out below show, by relevant category, the aggregate of the unaudited individual entity figures adjusted for all consolidation items to arrive at the consolidated REIT Group (being the Issuer and all of its subsidiary undertakings) figures for gross rental income, operating profit before changes in fair value of investment properties and net assets as reflected in the REIT Group's audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2018.
The main adjustments made to adjust the entity figures for operating profit before changes in fair value of investment properties to the Issuer's consolidated operating profit before changes in fair value of investment properties are to (i) ignore any inter group distributions and (ii) remove lease incentive adjustments not applicable at the REIT Group level.
The main adjustments made to adjust the entity figures for net assets to the Issuer's consolidated net assets are to (i) to eliminate the value of investment in subsidiaries and (ii) to eliminate all inter group balances.
