investment and trading properties at valuation and for deduction
of the fair value adjustment after tax of #10.9m (2002 - #4.7m),
as calculated under Financial Reporting Standard 13. The
adjustment for trading properties amounted to #171.8m (2002 -

properties amounted to #54.2m (2002 - #55.0m) and the adjustment
