Notes:

1. During 2006-07, a comprehensive review was undertaken of the Departments fixed asset register relating to land and buildings owned by the Secretary of State known as the ‘retained estate’. As a result, adjustments were made and a proportion of the reported losses relate to the removal from the register of assets sold in previous years for which payment of £90.5 million had previously been received and accounted for.

2. The transfer of a portfolio of nearly one hundred properties to English Partnerships, agreed in 2005, includes provision for further payments to be made by them to the Department when they are sold in future years, these future payments have not been included in the accounts to date. As at 31 December 2007 English Partnerships estimate the value of these future payments to be £160.4 million.

3. A profit on disposal of assets in 2006-07 of £7 million was also reflected in the 2006-07 Resource Accounts.
