Ten Year Record



The table below summarises the last 10 years' results, cash flows and balance sheets. Figures for 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are prepared under IFRS. Figures for 2004 and earlier years are the UK GAAP comparatives adjusted to show gross rental income on a proportional basis. FRS 21 became effective in 2006 under UK GAAP and has been applied retrospectively to 2004 and earlier years. This standard requires proposed dividends not approved by the balance sheet date to be excluded from the balance sheet.
