Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations, as well as from the translation of monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation.

Property revaluation surplus reserve

The surplus on the revaluation of property arose on the revaluation of all Group property on a date prior to the transition to IFRS and is used as deemed cost in accordance with IFRS1. The surplus is released to retained earnings as and when the related investment property is disposed of.

Other reserves

Included in reserves is a revaluation reserve for cash flow hedges, an equity-settled share-based payment reserve and the statutory reserve required for the Group's captive insurance subsidiary company.
