At the AGM held on 31 January 2005 all resolutions were passed, including those
detailed below:
     
•    Shareholders authorised the Company to renew its share buy back authority.

     Shareholders approved a special resolution renewing the Company's authority 
     to make market purchases of up to 14.99 per cent of the Company's issued 
     share capital, being 7,345,747 ordinary shares of 5p.

•    The Company also obtained the power to hold bought back shares 'in  
     treasury'. Such treasury shares may subsequently be either sold for cash or      
     cancelled. The Directors have indicated that they would only envisage using 
     the power when the share price stands at the net asset value per share or 
     above.
     
•    Amendments to the Company's Articles of Association relating to Treasury 
     shares were approved.

A copy of the resolution detailing the amendments to the Articles of Association
