NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
c)
Properties revaluation
The Group’s investment properties in Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan have been revalued as at 31
March 2005 by Wharf Estates Development Limited, an associated company engaged in professional
valuation, CB Richard Ellis (Pte) Ltd and Ikoma CB Richard Ellis KK, independent firms of property
consultants, on an open market value basis, after taking into consideration the net rental income
allowing for reversionary potential and the redevelopment potential of the properties, where
appropriate.
The surplus arising on revaluation less minority interests, where appropriate, is dealt with in the
consolidated profit and loss account in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.

element which is based on various percentages of tenants’s sales receipts.
