     Note 1     Changes in accounting policies:


        (a) Allocation of Expenses

        50% of management fee, including related VAT, and, 50% of finance
        costs, (net of applicable tax relief), have been allocated to capital
        reserve realised in accordance with the board's expected long-term
        split of returns from the investment portfolio of the Company.
        Previously, management fee and finance costs were allocated 100% to
        revenue. Prior year figures have been restated accordingly.

        (b) Income

        Dividends are accounted for in accordance with Financial Reporting
        Standard 16 (FRS16) 'Current Taxation' on the basis of the income
        actually receivable, without adjustment for the tax credit attaching
        to the dividends. Previously, dividends were accounted for inclusive
        of the tax credit. Prior year figures have been restated.
