The unrealised currency translation differences shown above are the net result of retranslating to sterling, in accordance with our accounting policy, of significant overseas investments and certain foreign currency borrowings which provide a partial hedge against the impact of currency movements on those investments. Notes 1. Accounting policies --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The interim accounts have been prepared using the same policies as those adopted in the accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 1999 and are unaudited. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 1999 is an abridged version of the accounts for that year which were delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The accounts contained an unqualified auditor's report and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. During the period, the group adopted FRS 15 'Tangible Fixed Assets' and FRS 16 'Current Tax'. There was no effect on the group's net assets and results for the period arising from the adoption of either of these financial reporting standards. 2.

Earnings per share ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The calculation of basic earnings per share is based upon the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2000 of £192.0 million (six months ended 30 June 1999: £31.9 million and year ended 31 December 1999: £170.3 million) and the adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period of 488.5 million ordinary shares (six months ended 30 June 1999: 489.7 million and year ended 31 December 1999: 489.8 million). Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders is arrived at by deducting preference share dividends from profit on ordinary activities after taxation. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding excludes 9.8 million shares (six months ended 30 June 1999 and year ended 31 December 1998: 8.1 million) held by employee share scheme trusts on which no dividend is payable. Diluted earnings per share differs from basic earnings per share in that the weighted average number of ordinary shares includes potential shares, being any financial instrument or right that may entitle its holder to ordinary shares, such as share options. The weighted number of ordinary shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is 492.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2000 (six months ended 30 June 1999: 491.5 million and year ended 31 December 1999: 491.9 million). 7.

The consideration for this deal of approximately £84.1 million resulted in additions to development assets of £88.6 million and an increase in decommissioning provisions of £4.5 million. (ii) As at 30 June 2000 interest capitalised as part of tangible fixed assets was £228.5 million (31 December 1999 £238.6 million and 30 June 1999 £220.8 million). 8.

Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where they are to be changed in the next annual accounts in which case any changes, and the reason for them, are to be disclosed. Review of work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4: Review of Interim Financial Information issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied, unless otherwise disclosed. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months ended 30 June 2000.
