INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF
THE TRAFFORD CENTRE FINANCE LIMITED
Report on the condensed interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed The Trafford Centre Finance Limited's condensed
interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements")
in the interim report of the Trafford Centre Finance Limited for
the 6 month period ended 30 June 2017. Based on our review, nothing
has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,
'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
This conclusion is to be read in the context of what we say in
the remainder of this report.
What we have reviewed
The interim financial statements comprise:
-- the balance sheet as at 30 June 2017;
-- the income statement for the period then ended;
-- the statement of cash flows for the period then ended;
-- the statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;
and
-- the explanatory notes to the interim financial
statements.
The interim financial statements included in the interim report
have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the
financial reporting framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Company
is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Responsibilities for the condensed interim financial statements
and the review
Our responsibilities and those of the directors
The interim report, including the interim financial statements,
is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.
The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in
accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim
financial statements based on our review. This report, including
the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the directors of
the Company as a body, for management purposes, for the purpose of
complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and
for no other purpose. Our report may not be made available to any
other party without our prior written consent. We do not, in giving
this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other
purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into
whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior
consent in writing.
INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF
THE TRAFFORD CENTRE FINANCE LIMITED
What a review of condensed financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and
Ireland) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance
that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
We have read the other information contained in the interim
report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the interim financial statements.

NOTES (unaudited)
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2017
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed set of interim financial statements ("interim
financial statements") for the six months ended 30 June 2017 are
unaudited. The interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34 as
adopted by the European Union.
The comparative information presented for the year ended 31
December 2016 is not the company's financial statements for that
year. Those financial statements have been reported on by the
company's auditors. The auditors' opinion on those financial
statements was unqualified and did not contain an emphasis of
matter paragraph.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the company's financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2016 which have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by
the European Union.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. In preparing the interim
financial statements, the areas of significant judgement made by
management in applying the company accounting policies and the key
sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to
the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December
2016. In particular, significant judgement is required in the use
of estimates and assumptions in the valuation and accounting for
derivative financial instruments.
Going concern
In assessing whether the going concern basis of preparation is
appropriate to adopt, the directors considered a number of factors
including financial projections of the company and the level of
financial support that may be available to the company by its
ultimate parent, intu properties plc. In addition investment
property held by The Trafford Centre Limited, a fellow subsidiary
of intu properties plc, acts as security for the financial
instruments which are held in The Trafford Centre Finance Limited.
The ability of the company to meet the obligations of these
financial instruments is dependent upon the performance of The
Trafford Centre Limited and its ability to meet its obligations to
the company. In concluding that the going concern basis of
preparation is appropriate the directors have considered the net
rental income forecasts of The Trafford Centre Limited. Based on
this review the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the entity's interim financial statements.
NOTES (unaudited) (continued)
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2017
2. Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the
company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016
as set out on pages 12 to 14 of that Report and Financial
Statements as amended when relevant to reflect the adoption of new
standards, amendments and interpretations which became effective in
the period. These amendments have not had an impact on the
financial statements. These have been applied in preparing these
interim financial statements to the extent they are relevant to the
preparation of interim financial information but have not resulted
in any material changes to the information presented.
Taxes on income in interim periods are accrued using tax rates
expected to be applicable to total annual earnings.
3. Operating segments
Management have not identified separate operating segments and
rely on information presented in the primary statements for
decision making purposes.

The amounts owed by group undertaking relate to an intercompany
loan with The Trafford Centre Limited where the company's
borrowings with external parties are passed to The Trafford Centre
Limited. The amounts owed are unsecured and the repayment profile
matches the maturity profile of the company's borrowings as The
Trafford Centre Limited is required to provide funds to the company
in order for it to meet its external funds obligations. The
recoverability of these balances has been reviewed and as a result
no allowance for doubtful debts is considered to be required. There
have been no impairments on receivables or amounts written off in
the year.
Interest is due on the intercompany loans at rates equal to
those paid on the external debt plus additional interest of 0.01%
per annum on the average principal loan amount outstanding.
Interest is also due to cover any fees and costs incurred by the
company.

Fair value hierarchy
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted market prices traded in active markets.
Level 2: Valuation techniques are used, maximising the use of
observable market data, either directly from market prices or
derived from market prices.
Level 3: Where one or more inputs to valuation are not based on
observable market data. Valuations at this level are more
subjective and therefore more closely managed, including
sensitivity analysis of inputs to valuation models. Such testing
has not indicated that any material difference would arise due to a
change in input variables.
There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the
period.
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised on the
trade date at fair value and subsequently re-measured at fair
value. In assessing fair value the company uses its judgement to
select suitable valuation techniques and make assumptions which are
mainly based on market conditions existing at the balance sheet
date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by
discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and
maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for
similar instruments at the measurement date. These values are
tested for reasonableness based upon broker or counterparty
quotes.
