Interim Management Statement

The most recent movement in short term interest rates has been downwards and
some commentators expect further reductions in due course. However the directors
have not detected any consequent hardening of the prices of most preference
shares so far. The company has enjoyed the redemption of one of its largest
holdings, full details of which were given to shareholders in the interim report
of 21st November 2007. Consequently the portfolio has an unusually high level of
liquidity with which the directors are quite comfortable in these volatile times
in the markets.
