                          CHAIRMAN'S INTERIM STATEMENT

Although the Revenue pre-tax profit for the six months to 5th October, 1999 was
lower than for the corresponding period of the previous year, the net asset
value per share grew from 226.2p at the commencement of the period to 238.3p, an
increase of 5.3%. This compares with a fall in the Financial Times All Share
Index of 2%.

In the period between 5th October, 1999 and 25th January, 2000 the Financial
Times All Share Index has risen by a further 4.8% whilst our own net asset
value has continued to outperform.

As usual, no interim dividend is proposed.
