Notes to the Funds and Joint Ventures tables

1All joint ventures are non-recourse to the Group. Where a joint venture has net liabilities, as required under IFRS, the Group does not account for its share of the deficit in its total share of joint venture profits. All joint ventures are incorporated in the United Kingdom, with the exception of Eurofund Investments Zaragoza SL which is domiciled in Spain. Of the funds, HUT and HIF are domiciled in Jersey, and PREF in Luxembourg.

2Non-recurring items relate to the surplus arising on closing out interest rate derivatives following redemption of the related debt out of the proceeds of property sales.

3Included in the column headed 'Other joint ventures and funds' are contributions from the following: BL Fraser Limited, Fareham Property Partnership, the BL Goodman Limited Partnership, the Public House Company Limited, BL Gazeley Limited, BL Canada Quay Limited, EFI Zaragoza, the City of London Office Unit Trust (CLOUT), Auchinlea Partnership, Delavan Spain S.L. and Group adjustments. Amounts are included in this column at the relevant percentage for the Group's interest.

4When the fund is fully invested, this will reach approximately 40%. The Group share at 31 March 2008 was 30.26%.


These financial statements include the results and financial position of the Group's interest in the Tesco British Land Property Partnership, the Tesco Aqua Limited Partnership, the Scottish Retail Property Limited Partnership, the Fareham Property Partnership, the BL Goodman Limited Partnership, Auchinlea Partnership and the BL Residential Limited Partnership. Accordingly, advantage has been taken of the exemptions provided by Regulation 7 of the Partnerships and Unlimited Companies (Accounts) Regulations 1993, not to attach the partnership accounts to these financial statements.

At 31 March 2009, the investment in Joint Ventures included within the total investment in Funds and Joint Ventures was £585m (2008: £833m). Distributions in the year include the receipt of £25m from HUT, £4m from PREF, £4m (£2m capital) from CLOUT and £10m from Tesco Joint Ventures. At 31 March 2009 the Group's share of funds and joint ventures properties is £2,815m (2008: £3,002m); external net debt is £1,863m (2008: £1,378m) and the mark to market adjustment for external debt is £236m asset (2008: £74m asset).
