As at 31 October 2007, AGCiT held 82 investments, the largest of which

£104.7m.  Details of the top 50 holdings, the portfolio's sectoral

AGCiT employs a significant amount of bank debt to provide gearing in its
capital structure.

The number of Income Shares of 1p currently in issue is 24,500,000.  The number
of Capital Shares of 1p currently in issue is 10,500,000.  All net income will
be attributed to Income Shares which have a capital entitlement of 81.61p each
rising to 100p by the Planned Winding Up Date of 31 December 2011, which date
will subsist unless an earlier reconstruction is approved.  Capital Shares
receive no dividends but all capital after repayment of bank debt and capital
entitlement of Income Shares.  AGCiT's Bank facility is £38.3m (£30.0m of which
is at a fixed interest rate of 6.57%).  The fair value of AGCiT's interest rate
swap agreement based on the bid price at 31 October 2007 was a positive £201,000
and is accounted for within the NAV of the Capital Share.

Dividends are paid as interims, semi-annually, to Income Shareholders with
the first announced each July and paid in August and the second announced
each January and paid in February.
