Notes
1. The index referred to as the IPD "Annual Index" is the Investment Property
Databank All Property (Standing Investments excluding Active Management) Annual
Total Return Index. The IPD Annual Capital Growth Index is a component of the
Annual Index and both are calculated by IPD from information held in its annual
database which at 31st December 2003 contained information relating to
individual properties having an aggregate value of approximately GBP105.1bn.
2. IPD compiles monthly indices as proxies for the Annual Index (the " Monthly
Proxy Index") and for the Annual Capital Growth Index (the "Monthly Proxy
Capital Growth Index") for the preceding month. The Monthly Proxy Index and the
Monthly Proxy Capital Growth Index are estimated by reference to information
contained in the monthly database, which at the end of December 2003 contained
information relating to individual properties having an aggregate value of
approximately GBP17.4bn. As these indices are intended to be proxies for the
Annual Index and the Annual Capital Growth Index, the constituent information is
re-weighted by sector, property type and region to reflect the portfolio of
properties used in the calculation of the Annual Index and the Annual Capital
Growth Index.
Investment Property Databank Limited ("IPD") will not be liable to any holder of
Barclays Property Index Certificates for any loss or damage as a result of any
error in any of the above mentioned indices. This information has been prepared
by IPD. Whilst it is deemed to be reliable, Barclays Bank PLC does not represent
that such information is accurate or complete and it should not be relied upon
as such. The prices of investments which trade in limited markets may go up or
down.
