1. Basis of preparation                                                         
The interim report was prepared in accordance with International Financial      
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial        
Reporting. This is the group"s first set of results that comply with IFRS.      
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards       
("IFRS 1") has been applied in preparing this report. The accounting policies   
used in the preparation of the interim report are consistent with those used    
in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2005 except  
where otherwise indicated. Comparative figures have been restated as set out in 
note 2. Investment properties have not been revalued for the interim financial  
periods.                                                                        
2. Change in accounting policy and restatement of comparative figures           
The group elected to apply the optional exemption provided in IFRS 1 relating   
to the retrospective application of IFRS 3 Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"). In 
terms of this exemption, the group elected not to apply IFRS 3 to business      
combinations prior to 1 October 2004. This exemption does however require that  
goodwill be subjected to an impairment test at 1 October 2004, and that any     
resulting impairment be recognised on that date against equity. The effect      
hereof is that the goodwill impairment recognised in the income statement for   
the year ended 30 September 2005 has been reversed and deducted from            
accumulated funds as at 1 October 2004.                                         
IAS 17 Leases requires that rental income with fixed escalations resulting from 
operating leases be recognised on a straight-line basis over the respective     
lease terms. The 31 March 2005 figures have been restated to take this          
requirement into account. The resultant changes are separately disclosed in the 
income statement and balance sheet. The effect on earnings per linked unit is as
follows:

The revenue eliminated relates to internal revenue generated by the Services    
segment.

The distribution for the six months at 47,599 (2005: 44,456) cents per unit is  
7,1% higher than the comparable period in the previous year, which is in line   
with the company"s consistent record of increased earnings over the past twelve 
years. It is anticipated that this rate of increase will continue for the       
remainder of the financial year.
