The £30m (2006: £29m) performance and management fees comprise £17m (2006: £20m) performance fees and £13m (2006: £9m) management fees from funds and joint ventures.

The performance fee receivable from HUT is £27m and £48m for the years ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2005 respectively, of which the third party element available to the Group is £17m and £31m. In total, £16m of the net fee has been recognised in the current year, £19m in 2006 and the remaining £13m is deferred to later years as it is subject to potential clawback, depending on performance. If there is no clawback, 50% of the undistributed performance fee is payable in each subsequent year.

The net performance fee receivable from HIF for the year ended 31 December 2006 is £1m (2006: £1m), all of which has been recognised in the current year.

Following the capital restructuring of Songbird Estates PLC a capital dividend of £33m was received in the year.
