Note : Accruals and deferred income includes
£4m (1998: £7m) relating to the unamortised profit arising out of the
unwinding of a sterling interest rate swap in 1994. The swap was arranged
in 1992 in connection with the issue of £100m 10.75% Sterling Bonds 2002.
The profit
is being amortised over the remaining life of the
bonds. £1m is due after one year . None of the amount falls due after
five years.
