The fair value adjustments arise because:
• As a development property, 201 Bishopsgate was carried in the accounts of Broadgate Phase 12 Ltd at historical cost.
* An adjustment is required to recognise additional liabilities for London & Henley Holdings Ltd.
† An adjustment is required to show London & Henley’s bank loans and related derivatives at fair value.
