unrealised gains in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company is a long term

investor and does not intend disposing of its total long term investment portfolio. Under

current Accounting Standards, the Company is required to provide for tax on any gains

that may arise on such a theoretical disposal, after the utilisation of brought forward

losses.


These figures are subject to external review by the auditors.
