(a) that the relevant year had been a financial year of the successor company;

(b) that the vesting effected by section 2 of this Act had been a vesting of all the property, rights and liabilities to which the BAA was entitled or subject immediate before the beginning of the relevant year and had been effected immediately after the beginning of that year;

(c) that the value of any asset and the amount of any liability of the BAA vested in the successor company by virtue of that section had been the value or (as the case may be) the amount assigned to that asset or lability for the purposes of the statement of accounts prepared by the BAA in respect of its accounting year immediately preceding the relevant year;

(d) that any securities of the successor company issued or allotted before the declaration of the distribution had been issued or allotted before the end of the relevant year; and

(e) such other assumptions (if any) as may appear to the directors of the successor company to be necessary or expedient for the purposes of this paragraph.

(4) for the purposes of such accounts as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) the amount to be included in respect of any item shall be determined as if anything done by the BAA (whether by way of acquiring, revaluing or disposing of any asset or incurring, revaluing or discharging any liability, or by carrying any amount to any provision or reserve, or otherwise) had been done by the successor company.

Accordingly (but without prejudice to the generality of the preceding provision) the amount to be included in any reserves of the successor company as representing its accumulated realised profits shall be determined as if any profits realised and retained by the BAA had been realised and retained by the successor company.

(5) Any such accounts shall not be regarded as statutory accounts for the purposes of section 8 of this Act.

(6) In this paragraph “the relevant year” means the accounting year of the BAA ending with the 31st March immediately preceding the appointed day.
