 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 
  
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
DECEMBER 2003 
  
 Registered No. 4359738 







 HOLMES FINANCING (NO. 6) PLC 
  
 Report of the Directors 
  
 The Directors submit their report together with the accounts for year to 31 December 2003. 
  
 1. Principal activity and review of the year 
  
 The principal activity of the Company is to issue asset backed notes and enter into all financial arrangements in that connection. No future
changes in activity are envisaged. 
  
 2. Results and Dividend 

 
 The results for the period are set out on page 4. There was no profit during the period
(2002 £Nil). The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2002 £Nil). 
  
 3. Financial Instruments 
  
 The
Company’s financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise loans to group undertakings, borrowings, cash and liquid resources, and various items, such as debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of
these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Company’s operations. 
  
 The Company also enters into derivatives transactions (principally cross currency swaps). The purpose of such transactions is to manage the currency risks arising from the Company’s operations and its sources of finance. 
  
 It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Company’s policy that no
trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. 
  
 The main risk arising
from the Company’s financial instruments is currency risk. The Company has debt securities in issue denominated in US Dollars, Swiss Francs and Euros. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing this risk. The Company’s policy is to
eliminate all exposures arising from movements in exchange rates by the use of cross currency swaps to hedge payments of interest and principal on the securities. 
  
 All other assets, liabilities and transactions are denominated in Sterling.

 5. Directors’ Responsibility in respect of the Preparation of Accounts

 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
 HOLMES FINANCING (NO. 6) PLC 
  
 We have
audited the financial statements of Holmes Financing (No. 6) plc for the year ended 31 December 2003 which comprise the profit and loss account, the balance sheet and the related notes 1 to 17. These financial statements have been prepared under the
accounting policies set out therein. 
  
 Respective responsibilities of
directors and auditors 
  
 As described in the statement of directors’
responsibilities, the company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and accounting standards. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in
accordance with relevant United Kingdom legal and regulatory requirements and auditing standards, and the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. 
  
 We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also
report if, in our opinion, the directors’ report is not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or
if information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and transactions with the company is not disclosed. 
  
 We read the directors’ report for the above year and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements. 
  
 Basis of audit opinion 
  
 We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes
examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial
statements and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. 
  
 We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to
give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in
the financial statements. 
  
 Opinion 
  
 In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the
company’s affairs as at 31 December 2003 and of its result for the year then ended, and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

 HOLMES FINANCING (NO. 6) PLC 
  
 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2003 
  
 1. Accounting Policies 
  
 Basis of Accounting 
  
 The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and accounting standards.
The particular accounting policies adopted are described below: 
  

	(1)	Interest receivable is recognised on an accruals basis. 

  

	(2)	Loans to group undertakings held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any impairment. 

  

	(3)	Transactions are undertaken in derivative financial instruments, “derivatives”, which include cross currency swaps. Derivatives are entered into for the purpose of
eliminating risk from potential movements in foreign exchange rates inherent in the Company’s non-trading assets and liabilities. 

  
 Non-trading assets and liabilities are those intended for use on a continuing basis in the activities of the Company. A derivative is designated as
non-trading where there is an offset between the effects of potential movements in market rates of the derivative and the designated asset or liability being hedged. 
  
 Non-trading derivatives are reviewed regularly for their effectiveness as hedges. Non-trading derivatives are accounted for
on an accruals basis, consistent with the asset or liability being hedged. Income and expense on non-trading derivatives are recognised as they accrue over the life of the instruments as an adjustment to interest receivable or payable. 

 

	(4)	Interest receivable and payable arising in foreign currencies is translated at the average rates of exchange over the accounting year unless it is hedged in which case the relevant
hedge rate is applied. 

  
 Assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the contracted hedge rate. 
  

	(5)	The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holmes Holdings Limited, a Company incorporated in Great Britain. Accordingly, the Company is not required to produce a cash flow
statement as prescribed in paragraph 5 (a) of FRS 1 (revised 1996), “Cash flow statements”. 

  

	(6)	Debt Securities in Issue are stated at net proceeds.

 8. Cash at Bank and in Hand

  
 The Company holds deposits at banks, which pay interest
based on LIBOR. 
  
 Swap counterparties are subject to a cash
collateralisation agreement whereby dependent on the credit rating of the counterparty an amount may be payable by the counterparty to the Company. This amount is included in cash at bank and in hand, and within creditors: amounts falling due within
one year. It is repayable when the swap agreements mature, or if earlier when the credit rating of the counterparty improves. 
  
 At 31 December 2003 an amount of £98,199,031 (2002: £30,202,000) was held which related to cash received under cash collateralisation
agreements. The amount was held on deposit at Federal Funds with an effective interest rate to match the interest payable to the swap counterparty.

Holmes Funding Limited, a group company, whose obligations in respect of these loans, are secured under a deed of charge which grants security over all of its assets, primarily comprising shares in a portfolio of residential mortgage loans, in
favour of the security trustee.

 12 (c) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities 
  
 The fair value of debt securities in issue is disclosed in note 11 to the

 The estimated fair value of the cross currency swaps entered into by the Company as at 31 December 2003 was a liability of
£135,677,857 (2002: liability of £ 69,168,238). 
  
 The cross currency swaps mature between October 2003 and July 2040. 
  
 The fair value of the instruments will largely be recognised after the end of the next financial year.
